What Gay and Bi Men Really Want
Are physical and sexual attraction the most appealing qualities in a partner? Or are unseen qualities like good manners and reliability the most attractive?
Following on from his research into what unbent women want and what straight men want, D&M Research’s managing director Derek Jones has taken the next logical step with his latest study into what gay and bi(sexual) men want.
In order to dig deeper and depict out a true list of turn-ons and turn-offs for gay and bi men, Derek once again used of the Im-Ex Polygraph method. He originally devised this method of analysis to distinguish what people say they want from brands, products or services from what they really want by comparing stated versus derived measures of importance.
Qualities the same-sex attracted and bi men said they desired in a partner (‘stated’) were compared to the qualities offer in example celebrities they nominated as attractive (‘implied’). The same comparison was made between stated and implied negative qualities, to determine what attributes are really the biggest turn-offs.
Gay Men's Preferences for "Top" Vs. "Bottom" Can Be Judged By Their Face
It’s been known for a while that it takes less than a second for people to use their internal “gaydar” to decide if they think a gentleman is homosexual or heterosexual, and such snap judgements tend to be right. But can facial differences be used to distinguish between different types of gay men — specifically, those who define themselves as “tops” versus “bottoms”?
To find out, the authors of this examine recruited 23 participants from Amazon’s mTurk (including 7 females). The participants were asked to look at photographs of gay men found on an online dating site ( tops, bottoms) and categorize them as tops or bottoms. Interestingly, they chose the correct roles at a rate better than chance, although they were biased towards choosing the male-stereotypical “top” role.
As you might have guessed, the participants were using cues related to masculinity (e.g., thick eyebrows, large noses) to make their choices. The authors conclude with this tantalizing suggestion: “it is possible that si
What Gay Men Should Expect in a Relationship
Some gay men put up with a lot in their relationships. Their long-term partners will aggressively flirt with other men in front of them, go home with a guy from the bar without any forewarning, rest with ex-lovers without gaining consent from their current partner, or brag to their current boyfriends about the quality of their sex with strangers. Ouch.
Here&#;s what I come across most concerning. Some gay men don&#;t feel they own a right to be upset about these behaviors. They&#;ll ask me why they feel so jealous and how can I assist them let leave of their envy. They think that the gay collective believes in sexual freedom and it isn&#;t cool or manly to protest to their partner&#;s sexual behavior.
In other words, they notice shame for experiencing hurt by the actions of their long-term partners.
Heterosexual couples get plenty of social support for treating their partners with respect when it comes to sex. Outrage is the typical social response when friends are told about poor relationship habit among straight people. When gay men tell
